How to make it

  • 1. MAKE THE DOUGH: In a glass measuring cup,, heat milk in microwave until warm, 1 minute. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer with a paddle, combine the warm milk & the yeast. Add the sugar, and 6 tbsp softened butter, mix at medium speed until the butter is broken up, 1 minute. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add flour & salt, mix at low speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Scrape down side of bowl. Increase speed to medium & mix dough for 2 minutes longer. Scrape dough into lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap & let stand for 30 minutes.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a standard 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • 3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out to a 9-by-24 inch rectangle. In a small bowl, mix the light brown sugar with the cinnamon. Brush the 2 tbsp melted butter over the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Beginning at a long edge, roll up the dough as tightly as possible & pinch the seam. Cut the log into twelve 2-inch pieces and set into muffin cups cut side up. Cover and let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • 4. Set the muffin pan on a baking sheet & bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Spread pecans in a pie plate and toast for 10 minutes, until fragrant. Let cool, then coarsely chop the nuts.
  • 5. MAKE THE GLAZE: In a small saucepan, bring the brown sugar, butter, Scotch, condensed milk, water, creme fraiche & corn syrup to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat & stir in salt, vanilla & baking powder.
  • 6. Unmold the buns. Pour glaze over the hot buns, sprinkle with pecans. Let stand until the buns have soaked up some of the glaze & are cool enough to eat, about 20 minutes.
  • Serve warm & enjoy!
